Has anyone installed the Dension ipod link kit supplied by SEAT? I have sold a couple but had them returned as 'not working properly'. Id be interested to hear opinions and experiences of these kits . . . .

I installed the Dension GW15VC1 last August (not the Seat supplied one, but the one that puts ID3 info on the large MFD).
Over the Xmas period it has stopped working, no MFD support and no sound (and yes it still connected properly).
I can;t help thinking it had something to do with the dealer who was trying to diagnose my heated seat problem a week or 2 before, they had it hooked up to their machine for over an hour trying to clear the fact the car registered it had a 6 disc changer when it didn't (the dension does mimick the changer).
Saying that it has always been a bit buggy, being tempremental with the display if you turn the engine on and off etc.

Actually is it possible to retro fit the genuine seat ipod adapter onto the existing stereo ?
I also have the MFD due to bluetooth if that helps ?

hmmm Im sure when I ordered my Leon I was told that if I wanted bluetooth, I couldnt have the factory ipod connection . . . .
I had one in My 05 Tolly and it was fine so it will work in MKII Leons as well, connected from the back of the radio and into the glove box. I thought I had sold it on the bay but found it the christmas clearup. So it's for sale again 
. It's only the cable though I never bought the cradle as I did not like the idea of the iPod being on show or the cradle.

yours may be the original 'icelink' which has now been replaced with the 'gateway' which is the one giving me so much grief

It is the ICE link yes. Not sure what I have in the Leon though, it's under the seat and it works is all I know......

That is what I have.
Does anyone know if you can get a kit to display the I pod info on the mfd but still uses the dock under the seat?
still going round in circles - i have given up
hi dave,
do you have access to the 'mdi media in' gear that vw are selling now? if so how much?
thanks in advance,
chris
As far as I i know the MDI interface is a lead or something that links to the new touchscreen sat-navs and allows them to browse the albums and artists and all that on the ipod.
Hope that's of some use David,

if that is the case, sounds (yet again) like the one giving me so much grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant find any reference to 'mdi' on anything SEAT tho . . . . . .
Found one on eBay,
Says this about it!
But at about £170it seems a bit expensive for a lead
Lol what ever happened to good old CD changers!
It's a little more than just a lead
Works well
Also ignore the must be after June 2008 part, my unit was built in 2007 and works fine after a firmware upgrade
